Probably a small deviation in the orbit of the Earth. The solar system is already considered a chaotic system, so a "minor" disturbance like removing the Moon for 1 hour is unlikely to cause anything too dramatic. Though it is possible.

You have an object at rest that is being pulled by two forces, you remove one of the forces, what happens?
It accelerates! How surprising.
But how's this relevant? The Moon orbits around the Earth, the Earth is already in elliptical motion...
